understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
Nearly 30 years ago now, when I was mid to late twenties, I went on hokiday with my then husband to Singapore and Bali. I live in the UK, Birmingham to be precise.
A few days before we flew, I friend, who I worked with, was on maternity leave and given birth to a baby boy. I went to visit her and took some photos.
On arriving at Singapore, I finished off the film in my camera and had them developed.
After being in Bali for a couple of nights, we got talking with a couple from New Zealand who were originally from Birmingham. It turned out the chap was my work colleague's uncle and he didn't know that she had the baby. I was able to go to my hotel room and get the photo's of his new born second nephew.
I very much believe that has to be more to life than we know, and that has come from that time. Life has thrown me a few coincidences which make me sit up and take notice.
